This thriving community, with a population in excess of 10,000, is located 75 miles northeast of Harrisburg on U. S. Route II. Regularly scheduled public transportation is available to surrounding cities and towns with express bus service to Philadelphia, 125 miles southeast. York City, 155 miles east, and Washington, D.C., 185 miles south. New HISTORY The Bloomsburg State College has passed through many stages since the founding of the Bloomsburg Academy in 1839. The Academy became the Bloomsburg Literary Institute in 1856 and by 1869 was designated as the Bloomsburg Literary Institute and State Normal School. In 1927 the Bloomsburg State Normal School, a name acquired in 1916, became the Bloomsburg State Teachers College. With the change in name, the long-established program for the training of elementary teachers was enlarged to include a four-year degree curriculum. business teacher-training program was introduced in 1930 as a part of the expansion of curricular offerings for secondary school teachers. By 1950 the college was fully accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, an accreditation which was reaffirmed in 1960 and extended to include a program of graduate studies. This same year the college reached another historic milestone in its life as it became the Bloomsburg State College. A 3 ACCREDITATION Bloomsburg State College is fully accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education and the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, and has been approved to offer the Master of Education degree by the Pennsylvania State Board of Education. Artist's Model of New Library CAMPUS For several years before college enrollments began to soar. Presi- dent Andruss and the Board of Trustees sensed the need for a coordinated long-range campus plan for building and development. idea bore fruit in 1957 when Bloomsburg became the first The State Teach- Pennsylvania to have a campus plan approved by the Department of Public Instruction. The development of the campus plan has been accompanied by the most extensive building program in the history of the college. Since 1956 the General State Authority has listed for Bloomsburg twenty-eight projects totaling more than ers College in $23,000,000. 4 Twelve of these projects have been completed or will be completed They include: during 1967, at a cost of approximately $6,760,000. College Commons (1956), Suthff Hall (1959). New North Hall Dormitory for Men (1960), an extension of utilities (1960), facilities for Special Education (1961), East and West Hall Dormitories for Women (1964), two additions which have doubled the capacity of the heating plant (1964), new air-conditioned Library (1966), and a new air-conditioned Auditorium to seat 2,000 (1967). Construction began in 1966 on another extension of utilities and a dormitory for 300 men costing $1,800,000. Construction has also been started on another Men's Dormitory (672) and a Science and Classroom building. Both are scheduled for completion in September, 1968 at a total cost exceeding $5,000,000. Funds have been allocated and preliminary designs submitted for four projects to be constructed at a cost of $2,736,000. When these are completed, the college v/ill have a new Athletic Field, an air-conditioned Dining Hall seating 1,000 students, the first phase of a Student Center, and a new parking area for 350 cars. Architects' sketches for a $1,204,000 extension of utilities will begin as soon as the current revision of the campus plan is approved. Planning and design work began in the summer of 1966 for a (400) to be constructed on the site of old Science Hall. A classroom building near the new Library, a Field House Gymnasium seating 4,000 spectators and a Maintenance Building Garage. Nearly $5,500,000 will be earmarked for the construction Women's Dormitory of these buildings. Early in 1966 the college requested design and construction funds of nearly $3,000,000 for land purchases, site development, parking and recreation areas, and an administration - fiscal - supply building. Requests have also been submitted for a classroom building, a Men's Dormitory (300), a Women's Dormitory (300), and a Dining Hall and Kitchen. The revision of the campus plan will provide sites for additional buildings on the recently acquired sixty-eight acres which formerly comprised the Bloomsburg Golf Course and the Magee tract. LIVING ACCOMMODATIONS Housing for Bloomsburg State College students is available in modern well-kept dormitories. Meals are served in the pleasant atmosphere of the College Commons. These facilities are available to graduate students during the summer term at a reasonable cost. Requests for information concerning available dormitory accommodations may be secured by writing the Dean of Students. 5 LIBRARY area, The College Library, located in the center of the campus academic was completed in August, 1966. Completely air-conditioned, it provides seating for 750 student readers, shelves for 200,000 volumes, a Treasure room, an Archives room, an Audio-visual Education Center, three classrooms, a curriculum materials center, and related facilities. Professional librarians, including a reference librarian, are available to assist graduate students in their research activities. The ever-increasing collection of books and bound periodicals more than 100,000 volumes and is supplemented by an extensive picture and pamphlet file. Library holdings related to fields of graduate study are being constantly supplemented by the acquisition of newly published books as well as books published in the past which should be of value to the student engaged in research. The Bloomsburg Public Library with its 30,000 volumes is also available to students of the college. now totals In addition to books and bound periodicals, graduate students will to more than twenty newspapers and over 600 current periodicals. Augmenting these are materials in various microforms. Inter-library loan service will provide the graduate student with an opportunity to secure selected books and microfilms not included in the holdings of the college library. have access GRADUATE STUDIES PROGRAM On June 9, 1960, the State Council of Education of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania authorized the Bloomsburg State College to inaugurate a program of graduate studies and to confer the Master of Education degree. Graduate courses for students desiring to secure the Master of Education degree in Business Education, Elementary Education. Biology, English, History, Reading, General Speech, Social Studies. Speech Correction, and Special Education for the Mentally Retarded are now offered by the College. The program is under the direction of the Division of Graduate Studies operating within the framework of policies and curriculums developed and approved by the Graduate Council of the College. PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES The need for professional education for teachers extending bethe undergraduate level has long been recognized by educational leaders throughout the United States. In recent years the Pennsylvania State Council of Education has taken positive action to improve instruction in public schools by upgrading certification requirements for teachers. This action indicates a clear recognition by the State Council of the need for training beyond the Bachelor's degree. Mandated salary yond 6 schedules which provide salary differentials for holders of master's decrees in the form of higher maximum salaries give additional recognition of the value of graduate study. The program of graduate studies at Bloomsburg State primary purpose the increasing of the competency in Pennsylvania. To achieve this purpose, the following jectives, as they relate to the individual student, have been as its College has of teachers specific ob- developed. 1. To encourage 2. To 3.
